Arrange the stages of the staffing process in correct order.
(A) Training and Development
(B) Placement and Orientation
(C) Performance Appraisal
(D) Promotion and Career Planning
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (A), (C), (D)
(B) Placement and Orientation — first of the four (staffing begins earlier with estimating manpower, recruitment and selection). The selected person joins the job he was chosen for and is introduced to the organisation, his colleagues and the rules.
(A) Training and Development — second. Once in the job, the employee is trained to improve his skills and prepared for bigger roles.
(C) Performance Appraisal — third. Only after the employee has worked for some time can his performance be measured against the standards.
(D) Promotion and Career Planning — last. Promotion to a higher post depends on the appraisal, so it comes after it.
